[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/ixgbe: fix setting VF MAC address

[Guinan Sun <guinanx.sun@intel.com>]

The reason why PF cannot receive data normally is that
vf performed the clear_rar operation through dev close
without adding a mac address. 
This will cause the association between the index and
rx address set by VMDq to be cancelled,thus affecting
the data reception of PF.
The correction method is to add a check action, and do
not perform the set_rar operation without adding a mac
address to prevent affecting the reception of data.
